In that hard sweeper, what I think is happening, is the inside front wheel is lifting, or is darn close to it.. and the outside tire is overloaded, creating a push. More droop will help keep that inside wheel in contact, keeping the outside wheel from overloading, which SHOULD add traction/steering.

Unless I have that all wrong of course, but that is how I understand it.

Also, a slightly stiffer setting on the front shocks might help as well. My front end is pretty soft.
I thought if you have more droop (front), under acceleration the weight transfer to the back is greater, therefor reducing front traction. Limiting the droop prevents as much of the weight from being transferred to the rear.
